Why We Started Baking (For Our Pups, and Yours)
Hi, we're Greg and Shoanette. Like you, our dogs aren't just pets—they are the unsung members of our family. A while back, we realized we were tired of feeling guilty or confused every time we handed out a reward. We just wanted a clean, whole-ingredient treat we could feel completely at peace giving to our pup-kids.
So, we started Sweet Licks Barkery right here in McKinney, Texas. We traded the mystery ingredients for real, human-grade food , combining our home-kitchen passion with commercial-grade safety standards.
Because we want the absolute best for our pups, we build every recipe with purpose:
The Science of Nourishment: We don't guess with our dogs' health. We use science-backed research and USDA data to get the nutritional ratios just right.
Conscious Sourcing: We obsess over ingredient quality, choosing 100% organic meats, cage-free eggs, and locally-sourced ingredients whenever possible.
Superfoods, Zero Fillers: We pack our treats with antioxidant-rich superfoods, organic fruits, and vegetables. By flash-baking and freeze-drying our handcrafted small batches , we lock in all that natural goodness—meaning our recipes are completely free from fillers, artificial preservatives, colors, and flavors.
At the end of the day, our goal is simple: to foster moments of pure joy and strengthen the special bond between you and your pet.
We’d love for you to treat your best friend. You can grab a bag right here on our website, or come swap dog stories with us in person at the local DFW Farmers Markets!
